Anyone know where is best for reusable bedding instead of pellets or sawdust my hoover is not coping and to make easier for kids to do cheers x
 
What type of bedding are you looking for? If the bedding is waterproof then the pigs will be standing in urine all of the time and will end up with urine scald.

You could swap to woodshavings as sawdust isn't recommended anyway. If you use that on top of a layer of puppypads you can just roll it up and put it in the bin.

Or you could try a combination of fleece and cage liners. You need to wash them regularly but it saves on putting bedding in the bin.
 
Thanks jacey I thinknmy sister in law uses liners and fleece for hers and seemsnto work where can I purchase is there any special requirements for these thanks
 
Cheap fleece that isn't shaggy (so they can't ingest threads) that has been wicked. Wicking means washing it several times (otherwise the urine won't soak in) but without using fabric softener - only detergent.
You can get 150x100 (ish) fleece from Home Bargains for £1.99-£2.99
